Well if I can put my own fuel Pump in then I think anyone can.......I did it with quarter tank of gas and still had spillage......Good luck
The clutch is officially done I test drove it again today to make sure
and it runs great.....and the new exhaust sounds wonderful....better than the TurboXS IMO. Very loud just the way I like it.......
Short little funny story about something that happened today during my drive.
I was driving down 19 when I saw this BMW z4 with to chicks in it and I pulled behind it. When the light turned green I pulled off and gas it asoon as the lane cleared to the right. As I was trying to see in the car I forgot I had the VTA on(which I am changing) and as I shifted it released and scared the sh*t out of the passenger. I couldnt help but laugh at her when she flenched like I was trying to beat her with a bat. She flenched as the BOV released I didnt realize how loud it was till today.........As I slow down to let her pass she cussed me out as if I meant to do it........I was still laughing because her face was priceless.......So who said you couldnt have fun with a ricer Part HAHAHA

Na its cool. Your av is 8. Technically, i stole the concept 
Although, whats funny is that it looks like yours has its headlights on for the pic. When i originally took the pics, i took a bunch of them to see which one i liked the best. My next closest pic that i was gonna use had the headlights on. Although, on the other message boards im on, i did use a similar shot only the running lights were on, not the headlights.
Thanks Trav.

yup i got the lights on. i also took like 15 pics but they mostly sucked. it just started raining so i quickly pulled the car in the garage to take pics. the garage light was on, there was all kinds of stuff in my garage, and i didnt have a remote to change the garage height lol. so i just did the best i could that minute and used my fav.

Look what Mr. Fed ex and UPS man brought me yesterday..
Now my motor can finally be completed!
Ams 1000 hp fuel system
Ams Race Balance shaft removal kit
Look how much of a difference the balance shaft size is.. less that 1/2 of the original one!!
Coming soon, the final 2 parts i need.
1250 cc injectors
ETS 4"FMIC
and then it will all be up and running.. head is finally in progress and should be done within the week.
LETS GO PENS!
